Black Walnut - The Woodlands

We celebrated my son and fiancé the night before they were to be wed. Janine and her staff went above and beyond to make this experience the very best. The atmosphere was relaxing and elegant. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The food was delicious and our guests loved having choices. It truly was the perfect venue for what we were wanting to celebrate these two very special loved ones. Thank you again for the best night.

Where to start…first of all Janine Jones is amazing!! She is the Event Director for BW and did a phenomenal job with our event. I was the Event Coordinator in 2025 for a local HOG Chapter and was referred to Janine by a close friend. So the event I planned was a Holiday Masquerade Party for 50 people. I was able to create a red carpet entry, decorate the tables, create a candy buffet, have a magician come entertain, wear themed attire, and last but not least have a drink menu catered to the event. The staff was amazing and we did not have one single complaint! The menu options were spot on, the drinks were raved about (by the men mostly) as they ordered more than one!! I cannot give enough stars for the service and accommodations made for us!! A huge shout out to Janine and her fabulou

The overall experience at Black Walnut Café was pretty cool. I really liked that there are a couple of different ways you can order, which felt unique and convenient. It made the process fun and a little different than your usual dining spot. The prices are also super affordable, which is always a plus, and I love that there are different seating areas so you can choose where you want to sit depending on your mood. Walking right in and finding a spot was easy, and I thought that part of the setup was great. Where it fell short for me was the food. I really wanted to love this place, but I found the flavors to be pretty bland and not very exciting. It was not bad, but it just didn’t stand out. Since some of my clients have been asking about more brunch spots, my husband and I tried it out

Came here with a friend in search of something “healthy but home-comforting,” which felt like a reasonable expectation. To their credit, the staff was genuinely very kind and happy to answer our questions, and the manager stopped by multiple times to check on us, which we really appreciated. Service-wise? Gold star. Now… the food. I ordered the blackened chicken Caesar wrap with a side of street corn. A quick public service announcement: do not order the street corn if you’re expecting anything remotely resembling traditional street corn. It comes smothered in a mysterious chipotle sauce that somehow manages to taste like the bottom of the dish pit. Truly impressive in the worst way. I wouldn’t even give it to a baby—and not because they wouldn’t like it, but because I’m pretty sure that

Ordered takeout in order a side of sweet potato fries. It’s really sad that you get this tiny order of sweet potato fries for $5. Potatoes are cheap so I would think you would get a reasonably sized order. For the price, the small container should be close to full. Turkey burger was disappointing too. Used to be like a real homemade patty but now it’s some flat, generic, tasteless turkey patty. I used to be a regular at BW but sadly, I rarely go there anymore. Between the change in menu, change in food prep and portion sizes it has become very disappointing.
